Brief description This project investigates a crucial but neglected element in the mechanism of chronic pain that develops after nerve and tissue injury. In particular, our aim is to establish whether expression of a chemical target of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline increases in the painful skin of affected patients, and whether medication that blocks this target alleviates inflammation and pain. If so, this may open up new avenues for treatment for previously intractable pain syndromes.
